Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 426: Chapter 423 Heavenly Master 130

Dong Wentao felt uneasy after hearing what Situ Shuangshuang said. Previously, he had a slight resistance to becoming a Heavenly Master, but now that Situ Shuangshuang really mentioned not wanting him as a disciple, Dong Wentao suddenly panicked!

Situ Shuangshuang was not swayed by Dong Wentao’s promises and continued coldly, ”If you are worried about your own safety, you needn’t be. The Array and Green Dragon Jade are enough to protect you, and after I have sealed your Yin Yang Eye, you won’t be able to see ghosts or the Yin Road. This way, you won’t find yourself driving into the Yin Road again. If you still feel uneasy, I can draw some powerful talisman papers for you. As long as you keep some talisman papers on you, along with the Array and Green Dragon Jade, your future safety is guaranteed, and you won’t have to worry about encountering these terrifying experiences again!”

”Master, I don’t want to leave! Please give me another chance! I promise to listen to your teachings and study diligently this time. Master, please forgive me just this once! I swear I will be serious and will never make this mistake again, Master, Master...”

Seeing that Situ Shuangshuang was really determined to give up on him as a disciple, Dong Wentao was instantly thrown into panic, only able to keep pleading repetitively for forgiveness, promising to study hard. In the end, seeing Situ Shuangshuang’s unmoved expression, he could only slump to the side, anxiously calling out ”Master!”

Situ Shuangshuang looked at Dong Wentao in confusion. The Heavenly Masters’ lineage values the master-disciple relationship, viewing it as father and son, just like her relationship with Chen Qi, which is genuinely comparable to family bonds!

However, Dong Wentao had only just become her disciple. The teachings of the Heavenly Masters were only briefly explained to him, so with Dong Wentao’s modern mindset, it was impossible for him to quickly understand the ancient tradition of masters treating their disciples like sons. Why did Dong Wentao have such a strong reaction when she said she wouldn’t take him as a disciple?

Situ Shuangshuang pondered over it and thought that Dong Wentao might still be worried about being targeted by Evil Ghosts after leaving her. So, Situ Shuangshuang explained to Dong Wentao once again, ”You don’t need to worry about your safety. The reason your father insisted on you becoming my disciple was that he hoped you could become a Heavenly Master and protect yourself, not because I lacked the ability to keep you safe. So you truly have no need to worry about your safety.”

Dong Wentao shook his head in refusal. He didn’t even know the reason he didn’t want to leave; he just didn’t want to leave, no matter what Situ Shuangshuang said!

Seeing that she couldn’t convince Dong Wentao, Situ Shuangshuang stopped trying. She wasn’t usually inclined to change her decisions, and if Dong Wentao refused to leave, it didn’t matter to her. Situ Shuangshuang thought she could just have Dong Wenyuan take his brother away!

So, Situ Shuangshuang left Dong Wentao inside the house and left directly. The day was (set at) a bit busy, and with the day getting late, before letting Dong Wentao leave, she also needed to prepare to carve the protective array on his body. Carving an array on a person isn’t an easy task, so Situ Shuangshuang needed to prepare carefully.

Situ Shuangshuang planned to draw some powerful talismans that ordinary people could use tonight, and tomorrow she would carve the array on Dong Wentao and give him the talisman papers. At that point, she could simply inform Dong Wenyuan to take Dong Wentao away directly.

Situ Shuangshuang hadn’t initially intended to take on a disciple, and now she found herself relieved at the thought of sending away a disciple she hadn’t voluntarily accepted.

As to Dong Wentao’s own opinions, Situ Shuangshuang didn’t care. Dong Wentao was afraid of ghosts, timid, and not focused on learning the Heavenly Master’s teachings. Having a chance to break free was something he should have eagerly wanted. She didn’t understand why he had shown so much reluctance earlier, nor did she plan to find out.

Situ Shuangshuang’s well-thought-out plan, however, fell apart the next day. Her master Chen Qi personally came to talk to Situ Shuangshuang, with the sole purpose of insisting that she continue to guide Dong Wentao as a disciple!

Situ Shuangshuang...

Looked at Dong Wentao, who was gazing at her with a hopeful expression, and Dong Wenyuan, who was watching her with a serious look.

Seeing Situ Shuangshuang glance at him, Dong Wenyuan sincerely said to Situ Shuangshuang, ”Master, please take care of my brother, who is not very accomplished. If he does something wrong, feel free to discipline him! Our family will not utter a word of complaint!”

Situ Shuangshuang continued to eye Dong Wenyuan suspiciously. She strongly suspected that it was Dong Wenyuan who had approached her master, Chen Qi, so that she would have to continue mentoring Dong Wentao, the unfortunate disciple!

Knowing that Situ Shuangshuang was scrutinizing him, Dong Wenyuan remained unfazed, and even though he had indeed asked Chen Qi for help in persuading Situ Shuangshuang, his expression showed no sign of guilt.

Situ Shuangshuang couldn’t detect anything unusual on Dong Wenyuan’s face. The matter was settled, and there was no sense in pursuing it further. Situ Shuangshuang could only let it be. Still, with the array carving tools prepared, she proceeded to carve the Array on Dong Wentao.

Previously, Situ Shuangshuang hadn’t carved this Array on Dong Wentao because Heavenly Masters must face various dangers for great success!

Situ Shuangshuang hoped Dong Wentao would travel further down the path of the Heavenly Master, which is why she didn’t encase him in the protective shell like a chick. Besides, Situ Shuangshuang believed that with her by Dong Wentao’s side, he would never truly be in mortal danger!

Now Situ Shuangshuang was disappointed and didn’t want to waste any more energy on Dong Wentao, so she decided to arm him to the teeth with protection, ensuring he wouldn’t get into trouble when she wasn’t around!

After inscribing the Array on Dong Wentao, Situ Shuangshuang sent him off to attend school. He was still a university student, after all. Previously, Situ Shuangshuang had wished for Dong Wentao not to stay on campus, using all his free time to learn with her about ghost-catching, exorcism, and the knowledge of various arrays, talismans, and the Yin Yang Two Realms!

Now, Situ Shuangshuang directly told Dong Wentao to live on campus, stating he didn’t need to cultivate on weekdays, only during the summer and winter holidays when time permitted!

This stark difference in attitude from Situ Shuangshuang was naturally not lost on Dong Wentao. He stood there meekly before Situ Shuangshuang, hesitant to plead for himself again, deterred by Situ Shuangshuang’s cold expression. He stood silently, unwilling to speak, his heart a tangled mess!

Not concerning herself with Dong Wentao’s feelings, Situ Shuangshuang, after sending him off, hurried to school to ask for leave. Then, with Mo’er, and recently closed-off for intensive cultivation Xilan Xiaoshun, she went to Mr. Hua to continue their training!
